Do they go into dirt sheet stuff from the time period?
Them things are long as shit though.
Meltzer himself is on the WrestleMania reviews.
Is this match on NJPW World?
20 years ago, on this day:
Hashimoto challenges Takada for the IWGP Heavyweight Championship. NJPW vs UWFi. Big fight feel in the Tokyo Dome!
Hashimoto looks a little shook, maybe cause he wasn't expecting the massive pop he gets when he walks out. Meanwhile Takada is cool as a cucumber.
Takada's plan was simple. Kick the shit out of Hash then make him submit with a hold.Too bad for him Hashimoto was having none of that.
The stiffness of the kicks are over 9000. I love it maggle!
Every time Hashimoto gets some offence in, the Tokyo Dome explodes. I mean some INSANE pops! He knows it's his night, so he tries to hit his vertical brainbuster on Takada a couple of times. When he finally does, the Dome erupts.
After the battle, the two shook hands and bow in a sign of respect.
I love this match. Not too long, not too short, with just the right amount of action.And the Dome atmosphere is off the charts, which adds a lot to the quality.
You can watch it here, sorry for the potato quality but it's all i got:

Data's watch of Superbrawl Revenge last night lit a fire under my ass to get back to watching WCW.
haha
haha
The Chavo/Rey match from Revenge is like night and day with the opening 6 man tag. As much as I dislike Chavo and find maskless Rey to be the worst even as a little Jimmy, they kick the shit out of the scramble. If the guys in the scramble are supposed to be the 'next generation' of cruiserweights after your Reys, Kidmans, Psicosis, Ultimos, etc then WCW would have been really fucked had it stuck around.
Luckily a lot of those guys got a lot better after WCW(Yang, Hayashi, Helms, Noble) and Karaigis vanished into the ether.

I mean the real last class of WCW cruiserweights include of of the biggest indie names of the early 2000's.
Which was a dark, terrible time.
Pronunciation of "Inoki" aside it was hilarious. Love Bill Burr so much.
I think Chavo Guerrero has to be in the running for most boring wrestler ever.
He's been given chances with WCW, many opportunities in WWE, even made WWECW champion, and he's been given a spotlight in Lucha Underground lately.
He's still consistently to me the most boring wrestler ever.
He's been wrestling for over 20 years.

You've said that like 30 times now.
Absolutely. They go into pretty much EVERYTHING surrounding the time period that a PPV takes place. These shows are all like 4+ hours long because they go real in depth.
Their humour is also right up my alley. they aren't afraid to poke fun at this carny ass industry we call pro wrestling.
you're going through the attitude era right now, listen to one of their reviews of an attitude era show you've watched recently and see how it goes. I know they did survivor series 1998.

But I'm literally watching it right now, which must mean late era WCW is the best since it actually succeeded in getting me to watch again.
Bring on nWo Silver.

Chavo has a couple of cute little moments with Eddie in WCW, but he's trying hard. He's mostly fine when it comes to doing movez and stuff, but nothing really feels natural about him. He's basically Jeff Jarrett/Triple H tier.

Haha... excellent.
I have so many questions
Yeeeaaah! Tear it up, Jimmy K!

Chavo wouldn't get booked if it weren't for his last name.

I watch old nwa/wcw ppvs after my wife goes to bed. Luger and flair had a bunch of really great matches that almost all had poor finishes. Then sting comes along at havoc 90 and wins the title in a snore fest.
Was luger being carried, or if he kept that motivation and hustle would he have stayed relevant for longer?

what?
Exactly. Just like Double J having the last name Jarrett and Triple H having the last name McMahon.

That whole Reigns/Usos twitter embarrassment yesterday was the real aspect of millennials Vince should be worried about.

Collusion!!!?

Hmmm, maybe I can do that tonight. See what sticks and what doesn't. That's a big show from the period too so definitely.
WCW/JCP only has a handful of good main event finishes in their almost 20 year history. It's not just the Hogan era but Dusty Rhodes booking, screwing over Flair, screwing over Sting/Luger.

I liked when he was trying to sell gold jewelry in the back, That was funny.
I'm of the opinion that Ric Flair was just really good. Luger no doubt had great potential, but he seemed to stop learning and start coasting pretty early on in his career. Which somehow worked for him.

This will help my tedious work day, holy shit. Thanks. The Austin could be better but the Vince is so good.
At least those guys did something to further themselves. Double J made a shitty wrestling company and made himself champ. Triple H married into the family business.
Chavo capitalized on his nephew's death and continues to drive a family name into the ground.

Talking shit about the gawd Chavito. It's okey 😢 fuck you busters too.
Starting Kz Shadow Falls. Wish me luck

Eventually Triple H will defend his title clean. Piece of shit

So...he moved this partner from harm, lays down for his partner to get the hit, then moves out of the way...
Makes sense.
His uncle's death, right?
And yeah, I'm kidding. I'd put both Triple H and Double J a hair above Chavo.
Let me add on to this
His partner that he was JUST feuding with 4 seconds ago. In a non tag team match.

The Lapsed Fan is not perfect. For instance, they hate Scott Norton.
he could have just attacked the guy instead of playing dumb.
or pull the guy aside and not play dumb and attack the guy after the flip.
I DON'T GET THIS EITHER.
